Thyme Care is a value-based oncology management platform that provides personalized, clinically coordinated care to individuals with cancer. Thyme Care pairs human guidance with software and analytics to engage members with a cancer diagnosis , quickly connect them to the right care, and provide ongoing support through targeted, evidence-based interventions.

Backed with venture funding from Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Alley Corp, Frist Cressey Ventures, Casdin Capital and Bessemer, Thyme Care partners with health insurance plans and providers to extend the reach of high-quality cancer care through flexible value-based payment arrangements, including risk-based programs.

Your Mission:

As a Thyme Care Nurse, you will be on the frontlines serving our members diagnosed with cancer. This role reports into our Nurse Team Lead.

You will demonstrate a strong clinical focus, factoring in the need for culturally-competent care. Additionally, you will help improve Thyme Care’s service offerings by communicating feedback from members and providers back to our clinical leadership. This role can be remote or hybrid based in our Nashville office.

Most of your day will be dedicated to speaking with members and handling clinical escalations and tasks. In order to ensure we have sufficient clinical coverage at all times, we do maintain a schedule that includes your lunch and breaks.

Support members and partner with providers in the oncology care continuum from screening, diagnosis, surgery, and ongoing treatment to survivorship or end-of-life.
Be able to identify and prioritize a member's needs and assist them with care coordination and clinical support such as symptom management, nutritional support, coordinating discharge, connecting members to high quality providers, and supporting readmission preventions.
Monitor member progress, provide regular updates, and establish targeted support plans with the healthcare team in case conferences.
Build strong, trusting relationships with payers and providers to optimize care and prevent readmissions for our members.
Partner with non-clinical Care Team members to support the member’s social determinants of health needs, for example, food resources, transportation access, support at home.
